My dear sir;

warmly thank you for. | have re-
ceived many letters, from promi-
nent Democrats like yourself,
throughout the State, urging me to
become candidate. The Press
throughout the State has generally
treated me with great courtesy. Ny
pride and ambition are wrapped
up IN Kentucky. 1t is true, l have
made money in Alabama and in the
Northwest but have brought it to
Kentucky and invested the same in
its industries. What We need IN
Kentucky Is more eitorgy and more
capital, but the day is not far dis
tant when we will have both and
the majority of the non tax-paying
counties will become our heaviest
taxpayers and thus relieve the
burden, now resting so heavily up
on the tax-paying counties. Manu-
factories will spring up all over the
State and our farmers will have a
market at home for their products.
AS We grow richer in agricultural
products, SO we will grow richer in
manufacturing industries and our
own citizens-laborers will find more
employment in our factories foun-
dries and workshops, thus bringing
prosperity to our people and blot
ting out this eternal strife that is
doing our State so much harm.
The increased wealth will give us
more revenue to enable US to edu-
cate the children of the Common
wealth and thus better qualify
them to discharge their duties as
citizens; therefore it may be ques-
ton, whether could not do the
people Of Kentucky more good in
some other position, than that of

."Three C'sp Railroad will leave the
Ohio at Ashland, follow the Big
Sandy River to Pikeville, there d.
verge and cross the boundry into
Virginia through the breaks of the
Cumberland. Traversing three
Virginia and five Tennessee coun-
ties, it will inter North Carolina,
cross that State in n southeast
course, and passing through Blacks,
Camden, Sumpter and other con-
siderable towns, it will finally
reach tide water at both Charleston
and Georget own. Following that
route this railroad will interseet
every trunk line east of the Cum
berland Mountains, and by virtue
of these connections will draw bus
mess from an immense field. But
to Cincinnati and Charleston mer-
chants this road when finished will
mean more than any other, for 1t
affords them facilities for CONNER
cial interchanges Of the highest val
ne. With the West Indies almost
at the mouth of her harbor, and less
than 750 miles of railroad connect
ing the two cities, Charleston will
be the largest Southern dealer in
West India goods and the heaviest
in handling breadstuffs andWestern
meats. Between the two cities
will speed long trains thus laden,
while every mile of the immediate
country will contribute to the ton
mage. This road will open an i'm
mense field to our merchants and
manufacturers. Between Marion,
N. c., and Ashland, Ky, are fine
iron ores, red, fossiliferous and
brown hemetite, and the high
grade magnetic ore of Cranberry,
In the same belt are coal seams OF
enormous extent and limestone in
abundance, The furnaces of the
Hanging Rock District, when sup
piled with these ores and with coke
will double their present capacity,
while new ones will be built, at va
rious intermediate points. Steel
mills will be erected near the coke
blast furnaces, and all along the
line indicated-two hundred and
fifty miles in extent-will be one
of the busiest and most denseiy set
tied iron manufacturing districts Of
the United States. This popula-
ton would naturally look to the city.
for its supplies, and this trade,gain-
ed and held, will be an eSer-increas-
ing source Of business and wealth
to our mechantile hohses. First,
the Hanging Rock district, then
Southwest Virginia, East Tennes-
see and Western North Carolina,
all south of the Blue Ridge
to the ocean will be open to Cincin-
natl enterprise. Our city secured
at an immence cost the trade flow
ing into it over theCincinnatiSouth-
